HOW TO CONVERT YOUR 2JZ GE TO GTE ULTIMATE BUDGET SOLUTION (ADAPTING A CAM SENSOR / HOME SIGNAL)

Hello guys I want to show you how to convert your 2JZ GE non vvti engine to a GTE style trigger system by installing a cam sensor plus the correct trigger wheel in order to gain the ability for sequential fire ignition and fuel injection. And removing the ugly/bulky stock distributor from the GE head.
This is the ultimate solution for you to get a fully functional 2JZ without having to spend $6500+ on a 2JZ GTE swap for your build. Or if you are looking to use the most out of your engine management system this is also the best way to solve the common trigger issue on the GE platform without having to swap to a GTE head. I will be offering these mod at my shop so if you are looking to get this done you can send me an email at [e-mail] and I can get you really good pricing on Brian crower GTE cams for the conversion as well! I have them for sale in my online store bigboostshop.com/

@@ALBERTOBIGBOOST do you have any tips about the vvti na-t conversion? I’ve currently got two N/A vvti 2j’s in my garage. Or are the swaps relatively the same?

[@drinkme.1229]

@@HAHAHHA97 VVTI GEs had weaker rods and pistons, just swap them out for GTE rods and pistons and you'll be good. There are other things to take into consideration (turbo drain/feed etc) as more people get interested in NA-T conversons there are better. Aftermarket products being developed for example, a few persons have developed adapters that would allow you to use an OEM GTE intake manifold on a GE.

[@joeseda8102]

Nice work Alberto! Appreciate your time and effort in producing these videos for us. Tip: Instead of welding, use aluminum or teflon spacer cut to proper width to keep sensor away from camshaft. Drill 2 holes and thread them to attach bung to cylinder head with bolts and a proper paper/rubber gasket. Seal around bung inside the head to prevent any oil from leaking through bung hole to outside of head.

[@mostwanted6379]

is there any website i can buy those?

[@terrellclark]

There’s a couple videos on how to do this but I’m so glad you made one. I’ll probably end up doing this to my 2j in my is300 when I turbo it.

Nice work! Does anyone know where i can buy those gold washer and bolts used on the valve covers ? :)

[@CarsnStuff]

great tutorial man i have a question. i bought the BC 264 cams. and they have those tabs but im experiencing two problems. on the intake side when the cam is on the timing mark the tab for that sensor is aiming straight down and so i have no idea how to go about that. Secondly it looks like on my cams is a bit further towards the middle of the head and theres even more obstruction in the casting and its closer to a bolt for the intake manifold so im worried that it will obstruct the bolt or possibly actually hit it. Now on the exhaust side it looks like it would line up properly but im concerned about it getting really hot and melting being so close to the turbo manifold. do you think its doable on the exhaust side ?

Alberto, Question for a GE vvti head. would you consider porting the intake ports to the same size as the ones on a GTE vvti head for better flow? Does the head gasket on the GE vvti head needs to be upgraded to the OEM GTE vvti HG to decrease the compression? I know it's 10:1 in the GE vvti and 8.5:1 in the GTE vvti.

[@Skyline-tj4dz]

The ge head already flows better but I was told that you wouldn't see a difference until 700hp

Got a question, youre doing this all on a GE non-VVTi, did you weld in the crankshaft position sensor under the tensioner too? Do most standalone ECUs need the crank position sensor for ignition or just cam position sensor?
